K0.1124. REVISION OF THE 2IELAMJPL1— SCI DUER. 307 



with a median black stripe and a br<»a(l i)oat()culai' piceous band 

 broadly margined with tiavo-testaceoiis; vertex well arched, slightly 

 or not elevated above the pronotuni, the interspace between the eyes a 

 little broader than (male) or fully twice as broad as (female) the tirst 

 antennal joint; fastiginm considerably declivent, rather deei)ly sulcate; 

 frontal costa almost percurrent, e(iual, about as broad as (male) or 

 distinctly narrower than (female) the interspace between the eyes, 

 strongly sulcate throughout, sparsely punctate; eyes moderate in size, 

 prominent i)articularly in the male, mucli longer than t)»e infraocuhir 

 portion of the genae; antennae pale red, feebly infuscated ai)icaliy, 

 fully four-fifths (male) or about two thirds (female) as hmg as the 

 hind femora. Pronotum short, subcylindrical, a little compressed, in 

 the female feebly and regularly enlarging posteriorly, in the male 

 e<iual on the prozona and faintly tiaring on the metazona, the 

 disk in both sexes transversely convex and passing quite insensibly 

 into the vertical lateral lobes; the ground color of the pronotum 

 is Havo-testaceous, but it is heavily overlaid with black somewhat 

 irregularly, which however forms a broad dorsal band (divided 

 in the female by a mediodorsal tlavous stripe) crossing the jirozona 

 only, and very broad vk-eous (male) or brownish fuscous (female) 

 postocular bands crossing the whole pronotum, broken to some extent, 

 and especially ])osterlorly divided by a Havo-testaceons, posteriorly 

 tiavous, longitmlinal stripe running through its uj^per portion; the 

 transverse sulci are also marked in black and the lower margins of the 

 lobes are broadly bordered with bhickish fuscous; the disk of the 

 metazona is ferruginous or rufous, more or less infuscated laterally; 

 median carina obsolete; front margin truncate (nude) or gently and 

 mesially arcuate (female), hind margin truncate; prozona very sparocly 

 punctate, subquadrate, only a third h)nger (the principal sulcus arcuate, 

 opening backward) than the finely punctate metazona. Piosternal 

 spine short, conical, blunt; interspace between mesosternal lobes half 

 as long again as broad (male) or a little broader than long (female). 

 Tegmina wanting. Fore and middle femora considerably swollen in the 

 male, ferrugineo fiavous; hind femora varying from fiavo-testaceous to 

 ferruginous and very broadly bifasciate with black, the fasciations so 

 confused on the outer face, especially in the female, that this often 

 becomes wholly black with more or less pronounced fiavous incisures, 

 the lower nuirgin of the outer face fiav^ous, sometimes linearly dotted 

 with black, the lower face more or less sanguineous, the sides of the 

 geniculation black except the fiavous apical portion of the lower genic- 

 ular lobe; hind tibiae more or less feebly incurved apically, fusco glau- 

 cous with a black pjitellar annulus, the spines black in their apical half, 

 ten, rarely nine or eleven, iji number in the outer series. Abdomen with 

 meso-and metathorax dull fiavo-testaceous, heavily overlaid with black 

 in more or less broken continuation of the pronotal stripes and bands, the 

 slender mediodorsal fiavous stripe of the prozona also repeated on the
